One of the things you can do is to put all of the common traits of the various tables into a class and have the traits that are not common to each table as an id for that table or for the td cell. Basically you're asking if you can do this:

Code:

<table id="different" class="commons"><td></td></table>

Right? Just put all the traits that are common to your tables together in one class name and have the traits that are different (like the table placement) in id's putting all the traits you want for that one table as one id name, then putting all the traits for the next table as another id name, etc. I hope that's what you were asking. If not I'm sorry but I hope you get your answer soon Good luck with it
